Nasdaq Ventures Backs Juniper Square's Vision to Transform Private Markets Infrastructure

Juniper Square, which operates as the operational backbone for over 2,000 global private fund managers, has secured strategic backing from Nasdaq Ventures as part of an expanded partnership aimed at reshaping how capital is raised and deployed in private markets. This investment builds on the company’s momentum following its $130 million Series D round completed in June.

The Scale of Juniper Square’s Reach

The platform currently manages $1 trillion in commitments across 650,000 investor accounts and 40,000 funds worldwide. These metrics underscore why Nasdaq chose to invest—private markets are experiencing unprecedented growth, and the infrastructure managing that capital is becoming a critical competitive advantage.

Strategic Partnership Goals

Through the collaboration between Nasdaq and Juniper Square, the two organizations will jointly develop integrated solutions that combine Nasdaq’s institutional-grade data capabilities with Juniper Square’s purpose-built software for fund operations. The partnership specifically targets improvements in fundraising efficiency and market liquidity, including innovations around secondary market transactions.

Nasdaq Ventures, the investment arm of Nasdaq, Inc., focuses on supporting technology companies that advance financial market infrastructure, data analytics, and workflow solutions. This investment reflects how critical real-time data and automation have become for modern GP enterprises managing complex operations at scale.

Why This Matters for Private Markets

As private capital deployment accelerates, fund managers increasingly need AI-driven insights and streamlined operational tools. The partnership aims to deliver these through a unified platform that handles everything from capital raising and investor onboarding to treasury management, performance reporting, and business intelligence.

For GPs navigating market conditions and seeking to optimize capital deployment, solutions that combine operational efficiency with data-driven transparency are no longer optional—they’re essential. Juniper Square’s expanded partnership with Nasdaq positions the platform to become a central hub where institutional data quality meets purpose-built software for private market professionals.
